Yellow Flame Butane Insert

Great insert with a solid useable flame. Seems to be durable and of high quality. Fitment is perfect in a standard Zippo case. Only downside is that it seems to have a relatively low butane capacity, so it doesn't last too long. Works great though!

This fits perfectly into my old, zippo lighter, feel like it’s getting new life. My thumb finger doesn’t get scratched up anymore as this one you just push down and it clicks and yayy fire 🔥. I would say it’s insanely cheap for bringing my zippo back to life. I think it’s about the same weight as the new and vintage inserts. It looks like my old zippo lighter Yayy. Seems to work good too. Here is a picture of her.

It really works. Better than any other natural flame pipe lighter I've tried. The flame is big. Tilt the lighter, and the flame goes up through the top big hole. Lower it down to the pipe and draw air, then the big flame reverses direction and lights the tobacco. No more worries about needing a blue-flame torch lighter. This thing solved the problem.

I recently picked up this Zippo single torch butane lighter insert to convert my existing Zippo case into a wind-resistant torch lighter, and it's been a practical upgrade for outdoor use. The insert fits perfectly into my standard Zippo case, maintaining the classic look and feel while providing a more powerful and efficient flame compared to the traditional wick lighter. The single torch flame is strong and focused, making it much better for lighting cigars, candles, or starting fires in windy conditions where a regular Zippo flame would struggle or blow out. The ignition is reliable and lights consistently with a simple flick of the thumbwheel, and I haven't experienced any misfires or difficulty getting it started. The windproof design lives up to its reputation, as the torch flame stays lit even in moderate wind without needing to cup my hand around it for protection. The butane fuel is easy to refill from the bottom of the insert using standard butane canisters, and the process is straightforward once you figure out the correct angle and pressure. However, the fuel consumption is noticeably higher than I expected, and I find myself refilling it every few days with regular use, whereas my old fluid-based Zippo would last much longer between fills. The torch flame burns hot and intensely, which is great for performance but means you need to be more careful about positioning it away from your fingers or anything flammable. The insert can get warm to the touch after extended use or multiple ignitions in quick succession, though it's not unbearably hot. The flame height isn't adjustable on this particular model, so you're stuck with the preset intensity, which is fine for most uses but lacks the flexibility of adjustable torch lighters. Overall, it's a solid butane insert that transforms a classic Zippo into a reliable windproof torch lighter with strong performance, but the high fuel consumption and lack of flame adjustment are trade-offs to consider.

This butane insert has been a great upgrade for my Zippo. It dropped right into the case with no fitment issues and immediately feels more convenient than the traditional lighter fluid insert. The flame lights consistently enough and burns clean without the fuel smell or evaporation you get with standard Zippo fluid. Refilling with butane is quick and easy, and a full fill lasts longer than I expected with regular use. Overall build quality feels solid and in line with what you’d expect from the Zippo name. One minor downside: the button you hold to keep the flame going is a bit small. It’s not a dealbreaker, I have larger hands it just took a little getting used to. Aside from that, this is a solid option for anyone who loves the classic Zippo look but doesn’t want to refill lighter fluid every single week.

Make sure to purge the air before filling! Like other reviews, I opened the package, filled with butane and was severely disappointed. It took a few tries to light and would only stay lit for 1-2 seconds. I was ready to return it. Then after some research, I saw that you need to purge the lighter first. I held down the lighter clicker until no air/gas was audibly coming out. I refilled with butane and now it works flawlessly! 4.5 stars. They need to make clear instructions but after I figured it out, I'm thrilled!

Great option for the Zippo without the hassle of running out of the normal fluid style. Doesn't smell like a Zippo which is a bummer haha but expected since it's butane not lighter fluid. Great product. I got the plasma version also and it's awesome. Price is right, cool looking, durable, good flame in the wind and sips butane fuel

Has a very big flame, and with normal use stays full of butane for a good while. I find my self using this way more than the original lighter fluid insert, or the torch inserts. Would recommend. A little on the more expensive side but then again its going to last you a long time.
